π‘π‘π‘ Do you also keep sighting repeats of all Aussie cats being blamed for native wildlife extinctions? We clarify that these demonising broad-brush statements are significantly flawed. And we know that demonising roaming cats influences cat haters to harm or c*ll cats, even pet cats. Land clearing and climate change (even by a few degrees changes) can have devastating impacts to wildlife.
π»π»π» Domestic cats in urban areas are often contained or roaming in areas where land has been substantially cleared and wildlife decimated by human developments. Further there are studies (more than in our brief video) which provide that regular feeding with desexing (steralisation) likely reduces their roaming and hunting behaviours plus more. Of course, this may not be true for evru single cat, however ti shows that these findings are significant.
πππ Updating our research, we found the HawaiΚ»i Animal Advocacy, who have recently published similar, more detailed and significant information - Hawai has also been labeled with being an Extinction Capital of the World, disputed by the HAA. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR WORK, do not just summarise with AI. We will be assessing leveraging and acknowledging their efforts in the near future.
πππ We encourage all cat supporters to call out the demonising and flawed, broad-brushing of domestic cats in Australia and impacts to wildlife. Surely by now everyone is aware we all need funded research on the ground in local areas.
πππ Conservation fencing is the safest solution for those species most at risk.
